Resume:

William López Ruiz, Esq.

I am a fully bilingual lawyer admitted to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Bar admitted to the United States District Court at Puerto Rico and in the process of being admitted to the New York Appellate Division. I am a UPR Law School Graduate who for the last two years works as an Administrative Law Judge at the Department of Consumer Affairs in San Juan. Within that period, I have presided over 600 hearings on complaints regarding mostly automobile and construction contracts disputes. After directing the hearings, it is my responsibility to draft and emit resolutions. The basis for the resolution of the disputed facts is my appreciation of the value of documental evidence and credibility testimony offered at hearings, as well as the information available on the case dockets. After determining the probative value of the evidence offered, I rule on which law is applicable to the controversy. This experience, presiding hearings where a great amount of lawyers from diverse backgrounds have litigated in the forum, has taught me a significant amount of general litigation skills. Specifica lly, it is my belief that observing litigants has given me the knowledge of how to efficiently prove allegat ions and cases in general. This acquired skill will be applicable to any field of law the firm needs me to work on.

I believe that the combination of work experiences, language skills and the large amount of hearings I have presided will enable me to make a significant contribution to the Law Firm s Litiga t ion Division. I am confident that I shall become an asset to the firm. Attached you will find my resume, undergraduate and law school transcripts, a certification of employment and two resolutions drafted by myself. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with you personally to further discuss my qualifications, my ambitions and my overall work experience. Please do not hesitate to contact me, at my phone 787-***-**** anytime during the day as well as by email at: acvuim@r.postjobfree.com.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope to hear from you soon. Best regards,

William López Ruiz

Attorney at Law
